For my oldest son's 2nd birthday, a relative gave him a complete book of nursery rhymes from the days before PC. Many of the rhymes tell stories about kids getting into mischief and getting beaten by their parents or some other adult as punishment. He also has some Beatrix Potter books that tell stories with similar corporal punishment involved. It's funny the first time you read some of these stories to your kids and just realize that they weren't very nice, but they want you to read them again and again. My wife and I have learned to skip parts or change the words to reflect a kinder, gentler story.
